If it was 1985, and the above mystery bike’s color scheme is blue and white, then it was the Suzuki GSX-R750 that would’ve had you geeked.

A Gixxer 750 with 106 ponies. How times have changed.

The GSX-R750 – arguably the bike that started the replica racer revolution – marked its 25th anniversary in 2010. Oddly, Suzuki decided to celebrate the noteworthy birthday last year by creating a limited edition GSX-R1000, designated by little more than special paint and “25th Anniversary Edition” on the mufflers and wheel rim striping.

The Volkswagen Group is one of the best examples of the new mega-manufacturing machines of the automotive industry. As a family of nine automotive brands, it has the ability to fill just about every mainstream, enthusiast, and barely scratched market. There are several advantages to this combined manufacturing force. One, economy and emissions ratings for smaller efficient models like the Golf and Polo can be used to offset less-efficient models like Aventadors and R8s in corporate averages. Two, technology used to make supercars from Lamborghini and Audi lighter and faster can be used to make Volkswagens lighter and more efficient. Bringing composite and aluminum-alloy manufacturing technology from low- to larger-volume cars also spreads the cost out, bringing prices down.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV, the third generation of the successful SUV, is scheduled to make its on-road debut in the United States this week. Along with the R-Class and GL-Class, the M-Class SUV is produced in the USA at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which began production in 1997 with the first-generation M-Class.

The all-new M-Class received updates both inside and out, the 2012 M-Class sits about 3/4-inch lower than the previous model, the new SUV is nearly an inch longer and a half-inch wider. It also took styling cues from other Mercedes-Benz models, we see the CLS in the headlights, the E-Class in the taillights and the SLS AMG in the SUV’s grille. On the inside, the cabin received several updates that we like, a sporty, four-spoke steering wheel frames a hooded twin-gauge instrument cluster as well as wood and aluminum elements with controls in a silver shadow finish and soothing ambient lighting.
